Manchester United have also kept tabs on the midfielder but could be left disappointed as Real aim to sign the youngster in the next summer window. Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has also been linked with a move to Real Madrid, with his contract ending in 2022.

Donny van de Beek admits he wants to play more at Manchester United

New signing Donny van de Beek has been at the heart of intense debate surrounding Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team selection this season. The Dutch midfielder signed from Ajax in the summer and has found playing time hard to come by, especially in the Premier League.

Donny scored in a 1-1 draw to Spain on International duty, capping off an impressive all-round performance. Speaking of his time in Manchester so far, the midfielder admitted he wants to play more.

"It sounds like a cliche for me to say this, because of course I would have liked to play more, but I really enjoy being in a nice team. I am received very well and helped by everyone. [Ole told me] that I have to be patient, but also that I just have to continue with what I am doing."
"He's seen that I have a good impact when I come into the field. My time is definitely coming. And when those opportunities come, I have to be there. I'm a patient person, but of course you go there [to United] to play as much as possible. I also think – in the minutes that I have made, in the times that I have come in – I have shown that I can add something to the team."
